Descrizione

The Eschefelder Teiche are a nature reserve located 30 km south of Leipzig. The area consists of 8 ponds and covers an area of 270 hectares. The ponds were artificially created in the 18th century for fishing. The largest pond is the pond near Eschefeld. The ponds are an important feeding, breeding and resting area for numerous waterfowl species. The surrounding area is mainly used for agriculture. On the edge of the large pond there is the Naturschutzstation (nature conservation station) Teichhaus. It is run by NABU (BirdLife Germany) and also has a restaurant. On the banks of the large pond on the artificially created dam you can find a bird hide.

The area has a Gabbiano comune colony on the largest of the 8 lakes. In the noisy colony Svasso piccolo and Gabbiano corallino also find shelter. The most important breeding birds include Tarabuso and Tarabusino, Falco di palude, Cannareccione, Pendolino, Basettino, Usignolo and Pettazzurro. All these species are best observed between April and early June. Depending on the season ducks like Marzaiola, Fistione turco, Quattrocchi, Smergo maggiore, Mestolone, Volpoca and Codone can be seen.

During migration periods, other species arrive. Falco pescatore and Aquila di mare are regular guests who prey on food in the waters. There are also Mignattino comune as well as Gabbianello. Another interesting group during migration is resting waders. These include Pavoncella, Corriere piccolo, Corriere grosso, Beccaccino, Pantana, Piro piro piccolo, Piro piro boschereccio, Pettegola and Combattente. Sometimes rare birds like Piovanello pettorale, Albastrello and Falaropo beccosottile are observed.
